Closure planned on State Road 258 near Cortland

JACKSON CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Force Construction Company is scheduled to close State Road 258 over Beatty Walker Ditch on or after Tuesday, May 28, to complete a bridge deck overlay in Jackson County. 

The closure will take place approximately two miles west of Cortland between North County Road 225 East and North County Road 100 East and is expected to take up to nine weeks, weather permitting. Crews will begin to place signage in the area before construction. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route, which follows S.R. 11 to U.S. 50 and S.R. 135 and back to S.R. 258.

This project is part of a $4.5 million contract awarded to Force Construction in May 2023. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, be cautious, and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
